Ambler CampusTemple University Ambler is an ideal campus to pursue your higher education--with a convenient location, courses in a variety of disciplines, and a friendly atmosphere. Located in suburban Montgomery County, just 18 miles north of the Main Campus (and minutes from Route 309 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike), Ambler offers the coziness of a small college campus with the excitement and vast resources of a large University. Ambler attracts students who live or work north of Philadelphia, including those from Bucks, Lehigh, Montgomery, and Northampton Counties. The Blue Route (Rt. 476) also makes Temple University Ambler easily accessible to students from Chester and Delaware counties. Commuters and residents enjoy Ambler's stunning grounds, student organizations and activities, and recreational facilities that include an exercise/weight room, indoor/outdoor pool, sand volleyball pit, and tennis and basketball courts. Beginning in 2003-04, the campus is also home to Temple University's baseball, softball, and men's and women's soccer teams. Ambler's facilities include modern science laboratories, a library, top-quality computer labs, "smart" classrooms, a Computer-Assisted Design (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) lab, a Distance Education/Videoconferencing room, and residence halls. Come join the 3,000 students who choose Temple University Ambler each year. The Ambler campus offers hundreds of undergraduate courses, day and evening, taught by the University's distinguished faculty. Students can begin almost every undergraduate program at Ambler.
